Man posts about lost pug on Facebook and someone dumps a different pug at his door

A man who posted about his lost pug on Facebook came home to find someone had dumped a different dog at his door.

Luke Neville, from New South Wales, and his brother were left in a panic over the weekend when their dog Bella went missing.

They searched the neighbourhood for hours and posted a picture on Facebook to find their missing pooch.

Mr Neville told BuzzFeed: "We were having breakfast with the front door open and she must have snuck out at some stage. Then the hunt began."

A well-intentioned friend saw a 'Found Dog' sign, and contacted the person who had written the message. After finding out the dog was a pug, the friend picked it up and dropped it at Mr Neville's house.

He said: "I got home from a search, I thought it was Bella back home so I started patting her before realising something was off".

The local council ranger told Mr Neville he had a dog matching Bella's description in the pound.
